Bug#743887: ITP: direnv -- A utility to set directory specific environment variables
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Punit Agrawal * Package name: direnv Version : 2.3.0 Upstream Author : Jonas Pfenniger * URL : http://direnv.net/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: Go Description : A utility to set directory specific environment variables direnv is a shell extension that loads different environment variables depending on your path. Instead of putting every environment variable in your "~/.profile", have directory-specific ".envrc" files for your AWSACCESSKEY, LIBRARY_PATH or other environment variables. It does some of the job of rvm, rbenv or virtualenv but in a language- agnostic way I use this tool to set-up different environment variables for the projects I build. Javi (cc'd) has agreed to mentor this package and sponsor it when ready. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

As part of creating the directory-specific configuration, the user has to explicitly run 'direnv allow' for that directory and .envrc. The configuration file is automatically blocked if changed, unless edited with 'direnv edit'. Hope that answers your question.
